Are Falcons going to take a QB? That is the key to us getting Wilson or Lance.

I cant see them drafting a qb that high just to have him sit behind Ryan. His contract is pretty big and has three years left, I don’t see them cutting him and no one will trade for him. To me, the Lions are the team to watch out for. I don’t think Stafford has as many years left on his contract and it will be up to their new coach if he wants to roll with him a few more years.

Cap makes it very tough. Could see a new coach doing it if he falls in love, but unlikely IMO.

And it’s the right move for you guys. Lots of close losses and chokes this year were more on coaching than personnel. I don’t see any reason the new HC/GM couldn’t turn it around relatively quickly and get a solid 3-5 more years from Ryan, potentially contending as soon as 2022. All depends on hiring the right HC and GM though, which is the much bigger question for you guys than the future at QB.

If we identify a QB prospect we want, we better make a move up the draft board and go get him.

Sitting and waiting would be very dicey. The Chiefs jumped up to #10 from #27 to get Mahomes, but I'd be willing to bet they were making calls prior to that and teams either weren't answering or they couldn't work out the details.

We’d be lucky to get the 4th best QB I feel like. 

Here’s the teams ahead of us that could realistically draft a QB:

JAX, NYJ, MIA, ATL, DET, PHI

That’s 6 of 7 teams. If you take MIA out, the least likely imo, that’s still 5 teams ahead of us who are probably seriously considering QB. I think it is all but guaranteed that the top 3 are gone by the time we pick, and all it takes is one other team to really like the 4th guy and we are screwed. Not even sure I want the 4th best guy tbh, unless our scouts feel he’s more like the second best.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction
